No Worries about Food and Medicine

Chapter 36: Crystal Chrysanthemum Cake

As soon as I heard that this was Ji Hong’s second brother, Yu Jinnian was very surprised. He always thought that Ji’s second brother was traveling abroad, but he didn’t want to. He turned out to be dead. He immediately respected him, and did not dare to look up directly. He first took three incense sticks from the incense case, lit the match on the forehead, and honestly worshipped three times. Then he looked up carefully.

He thought at first that he was wrong, closed his eyes and opened it again, and examined it carefully again. He couldn’t help wondering: Why is there no name in this spiritual position, but only a chrysanthemum is engraved?

Ji Hong also knew his doubts and ridiculed: “The second brother’s identity is noble. Isn’t it true that people like Jingzhong can arbitrarily set up a brand to worship? I am afraid he would not dare to engrave the name of his second brother, so he replaced it with chrysanthemum.

“The second brother was the most loved chrysanthemum before his death. His father had rewarded him with a yard with a pool pond. He was renamed Jin Youting, and he was covered with chrysanthemums in the late autumn. He leaned on the shore and drank himself. . Fuchu is also unavoidable that his second brother’s preference is involved, and it is better to decorate with plum chrysanthemum, widowed and plain, so that all relatives and friends think that the government is proud of its high cleanliness and does not contaminate with the world.

When talking about the second brother, Yu Jinnian couldn’t quite understand Ji Hong’s thoughts. This person looked slightly raised, but his eyes were bleak, like joy and sadness. It is important to think that this second brother should be Ji Hong People only.

It’s just that what is the relationship between the second brother and Jing Zhong? It can make Ji Hong, who has always been cold and self-sustaining, thunder.

Yu Jinnian hesitated whether he should ask, or wait for Ji Hong to talk to him slowly-at this time, A Chun ran back, the silly kid ran sweating, his face and knees were stained better Mud, holding a few packs of medicine firmly in his arms, he hurriedly shouted: “Brother, brother, Achun is back!”

When Ji Hong saw him come back, he kept silent and said, “I’m going out for a walk.”

Yu Jinnian knew that he didn’t want to see or hear about Jing Zhong, so he didn’t dare to talk much, stepping on his shadow step by step to follow him to the door, without paying attention, he hit the man’s back.

Ji Hong asked: “What do you do with me?”

Yu Jinnian posted it on his back like a gecko lying on the wall. Ji Hongfang wanted to turn around, but Yu Jinnian took it over his head and did not ask Ji Hong to turn around. And he was up and down, and he didn’t feel how ambiguous this gesture was.

“This is what to do again.” Ji Hong’s upper body didn’t move, only to look back gently, Yu Guang glanced at a downy head stuck on his back.

Yu Jinnian asked in a muffled voice: “You … you go out and will you come back?” He had never seen Ji Hong have such a big fire today. It was very annoying. He even went back to the morning and thought if he had not gone to fish The city is just fine. If you do n’t meet A Chun and you do n’t know that Jing Zhong is sick, you might not be involved in this incident, which makes Ji Hongsheng so angry.

But what should he do right now, on the one hand is Jing Zhong who is ill, and on the other hand is Ji Hong who is full of anger.

This man was already mysterious, knowing where he was and where he was going, like a white butterfly that accidentally fluttered. Just because his non-sharpening wildflower would produce some delicious honey, it caused the butterfly to stay for a while. But the butterfly is going to fly away after all, and there is more than one flower in the world. Perhaps one day, Ji Hong gets tired of his honey and will drift away quietly as he came. What’s more, today he wildly stung Ji Hong’s mouth with this wildflower somehow.

He waited for a long time, but Ji Hong asked: “Do you want me to come back?”

Yu Jinnian said: “I am naturally, naturally is–” Originally very unspeakable, placed in this scene, but jumped out anxiously, he pursed his lips, looked up at him, whispered: “I want you Come back … Then do you come back? ”

Ji Hong turned around, holding Yu Jinnian’s face with one hand, his thumb rubbing back and forth on his dry lips, reminding Yu Jinnian of the night on Maoer Mountain, it was also such a sticky atmosphere, he could not help but stood a little, slightly Open your mouth and seem to be waiting for something. But Ji Hong backed away at this moment, his palm slipped from the teenager’s face to his shoulder, and he squeezed gently, saying, “I don’t know, you wait and see.”

He left.

Yu Jinnian froze in place, watching his figure disappear at the end of the narrow lane, flying away like a white butterfly in a dream.

“Brother, brother, woo …” Achun cried in the back.

Yu Jinnian stood there for a moment, and then ran back toward the room. Jing Zhong was vomiting again. There was no food in the stomach pouch. The vomiting was all acid. It was not a way to vomit. He brought a teapot and mixed it with salt water , Let A Chun clean up the dirt in Jing Zhong’s mouth, and then feed him a little bit of salt water to gargle. Then he went to take the medicine himself.

Most of the medicines that relieve the heat are very bitter and more prone to vomiting, but there is no way. And Jing Zhong needs to reduce intracranial pressure, and the more water you drink, the easier it is to aggravate edema-you ca n’t stop drinking, you ca n’t drink too much. Ling Achun stood by the couch and taught him to use cold hand towels to cool Jing Zhong away.

After feeding the medicine, Jing Zhong was slightly more stable. Yu Jinnian ran to the door of the courtyard and looked around on tiptoe. Seeing that Ji Hong had not returned, he went into the house in despair. Soon after, he ran out to see. After so many times in and out, he simply moved the stool and sat directly in the door and waited.

But when the sun sets west, the white butterfly does not fly back.

Yu Jinnian suddenly stood up, ran his legs to a bowl of noodle restaurants, ran through a few streets, and almost hit people. From the distance, he saw the front of his noodle restaurant. , With a startled smile: “Nian Ge, what are you doing so anxiously? There are wild dogs behind?”

Yu Jinnian didn’t answer, so he went to the noodle restaurant and looked at it back and forth. He didn’t even miss the corner of the kitchen.

Qing Huan wondered: “What are you looking for?”

“A Hong has never been back!” Yu Jinnian asked.

Qing Huan was even more strange, saying: “Did Ji Gongzi go with you, didn’t you come back together? Didn’t see Ji Gongzi!”

There was a disappointment in Yu Jinnian’s face. He opened the lid and saw that the soup in the pot was not very hot. He ordered Qing Huan to be busy: “Add firewood and boil the water. If Ahong comes back, prepare some food for him.” Is there any noodles? The noodles should be cooked softer. He doesn’t like hard ones. ”

Qing Huan stunned, and suddenly laughed: “What’s the matter? Isn’t Ji Gongzi’s food always controlled by Brother Nian, who has never given his hands to others? Why did he ask me, a layman, to cook noodles for him today. “She said that she shook her head again and again,” Always spare me, Ji Gongzi’s mouth can be picked, and after eating my noodles, I must freeze my face with ice. ”

Yu Jinnian thought, I wish I could see his ice face now.

After fidgeting in the noodle restaurant for a while, he was worried that Ji Hong would have returned to Achun, and he was busy saying goodbye to Qinghuan and heading to Huaihua Alley.

Breathlessly ran into the yard, quietly inside, there was no figure in the yard.

Yu Jinnian felt like he was thrown into the cold lake water. When he came back, he was still lucky. Thinking that Ji Hong might really just go for a walk, now this mood fell to the ground suddenly, he squatted Looking at the flowers in front of the chrysanthemum garden, he reached out and plucked the petals and muttered: “It’s a heartless butterfly!”

A Chun ran out and gave him a bowl of boiled taro: “Did you eat?”

Yu Jinnian took over the bowl and found that the taro was ice-cold. How long did it last? He asked A Chun: “You eat this?”

“Achun can only do this. My brother loves to eat it! After eating taro, you can drink taro soup.” Achun nodded, staring at him, and seemed to be reluctant to eat this bowl of taro.

Jing Zhongshao said that he had been sick for three or four days. He did n’t know how silly A Chun had been these days. Even though Jing Zhong was not a good person, A Chun was innocent. Yu Jinnian patted his clothes and said, “Do n’t eat this It ’s cold. I ’ll make some for you. Anything you want to eat? ”

A Chun’s expression appeared on his face, and he asked in a huff: “That, A Chun wants to eat wonton … is that okay?”

Yu Jinnian said: “Okay, I will make ravioli for you, just wait to go.”

Achun jumped and ran back, telling his brother that he could eat ravioli tonight. Yu Jinnian saw him happily and thought that he was still a fool and had no trouble. He touched the kitchen and saw that there were two or three cooktops, but it was a pity that the pan was cold and the stove was empty. Although there were many ingredients on the kitchen counter, only some extremely durable vegetables could be used. It’s moldy, then open a clay pot on hand, there is cold cooked taro inside, and the other jar is filled with sour rice.

He roughly picked up a few useful ones, went to the street to buy a piece of tofu, and started cooking.

The ravioli ordered by Achun is very easy to make, and it’s not a problem to make the noodles and roll the skin. It’s too late to buy meat, and he simply made a roasted cabbage, mushroom and tofu filling with him. It doesn’t affect the taste much. Fold the boxy noodles in half and wrap them into the simplest lotus shape. When cooking, put some shredded mushrooms in the soup to enhance the taste, and add pepper and sesame oil to the pot. It is also very delicious.

After ravioli, Yu Jinnian plans to transform this cold taro into a rice noodle soup. He first peeled the taro and cut it into pieces for use. The soup for cooking wonton is not wasted, just heat it up and then add dried shredded dried shredded shrimp with garlic and shredded mushrooms.

When cooking rice noodles, he started a small pot, brushed the bottom of the pan with thin oil, fry the cut taro pieces until the surface became yellow and crispy, and then sandwiched them out and transferred them to the rice noodle pot. After a while, the taro is cooked softly, then it is garnished with a few green leaves of Isatis indigotica, and it can be served.

Take this taro rice noodle soup, rice dumpling wonton and a plate of sour dumplings as side dishes, and send them to the house.

A Chun was very pleased to see him, holding a bowl and sitting by the bed, while talking to his confused brother, eating ravioli in a small bite, and always nodded to Yu Jinnian to thank you politely.

The kitchen was still on fire, and he was panicking around. He was afraid that Ji Hong would come back and have no food to eat, so he went back and made a vegetarian meat.

This dish of Sukou meat has similarities with Suqin, which is said to be an invention from a former temple. The monks in the temple are suffering and practicing hard, even though the monks are strictly abiding by many rules and regulations, they will inevitably have an appetite. It passed down and became a famous dish. This dish is very worth seeing, just looking at the skin, it is indeed like red meat and oil, but it is also fresh and fragrant, but in fact it is vegan inside, and there is no trace of meat.

In fact, Sukou meat is made with melon.

Yu Jinnian is not an indifferent buddha. He does not need to take into account Wuxin’s words. He uses the seed oil to cook the pot, cuts the ginger, scallion, and stir-fries until fragrant. , To golden color.

Then shred the mushrooms and saute the incense. Do not over-fry the old ones, otherwise the aroma will be scattered, and this vegetarian meat will lose its delicious meaning.

Take another round bowl, spread the sautéed melon along the bowl and lay a few layers thickly around the bottom of the bowl, then pour the crushed mushrooms, sprinkle with star anise, fennel, angelica, garlic slices and other seasonings, and then use Make a sauce dish with oil sauce, rice wine, sugar salt and mushroom water, and pour it into a bowl. Then put it on the pot and steam the scent of incense on the fire.

Another process is paving the plate. Yu Jinnian made the leaves of Isatis indigotica slightly blanched to make it greener, and the leaves were clipped out and spread out on the white plate. The steamed East Melon Bowl strains its broth, and after compaction, quickly buckles it on the vegetable slices. At the end, the filtered soup is made into thick broth, which is thickened by sprinkling with green onions.

This dish has a fleshy color, smells of meat, and is very juicy. Even if you know that this is a self-deception, and you want to taste the meat, you can’t make the taste buds open.

The vegetarian meat was put on the plate, and the porridge was boiled. The sky outside was dark. Yu Jinnian had nothing to do at this time. After wandering around for a while, he slipped into the Western Chamber. He highlighted the candle hearts on both sides of the incense case. Some, seeing that the cards in the list have been slightly grayed out, I took it down carefully and wiped it. I did n’t know what to say, “I do n’t know what your name is, I ’ll call you second brother too.”

The second elder brother would not answer him anyway. Yu Jinnian sat on the futon holding the card and said to himself: “Second elder brother, you must be able to see Ahong in the spirit of the heavens. You should call him back to eat.”

I do n’t know if this wooden sign has been out of support for a long time. Just after Yu Jinnian said this, a loud noise came from the empty altar, which scared Yu Jinnian to jump. He looked closely, but the card was cracked. Seam, cracking on the chrysanthemum pattern.

“Second brother, are you hungry too?” Yu Jinnian jumped up and put the wooden sign right back, and worshipped again. “I saw my second brother for the first time today, but I didn’t even prepare for a tribute, and it was impolite. 2. Brother, wait a minute, then prepare. ”

Bringing the door, Yu Jinnian couldn’t help tangling, and he didn’t know what his second brother liked to eat? His eyes fell on the little white chrysanthemum in the flower garden, and he thought that Jing Zhong’s kitchen seemed to have a bag of dried watercress, so he decided to make a crystal chrysanthemum cake.

He picked dozens of small white chrysanthemums, washed them into pots and cooked water, and then boiled the cabbage with the cooked chrysanthemum water.

Watercress is something from the sea, but it is actually a kind of seaweed, also known as stone cauliflower. Stone cauliflower is easy to eat, soak after washing hair, and then according to the taste, use oil and salt sauce vinegar and garlic minced ginger, adjust to cold mix and eat, crisp and refreshing.

If the agar is cooked for a long time, it is another scene, and depending on the amount of the agar and water, it can be made into jelly, cold cake and so on.

This watercress has a sweet and salty taste, can clear away heat and dryness, and is an excellent summer cooling product.

Yu Jinnian slowly stirred the spoon handle, adding sugar at the right time, watching the cabbage melt in the chrysanthemum water a little bit, until the pot boiled, then immediately fire. At this time, take two more small yellow chrysanthemums, tear apart the petals, sprinkle into the melted water of the cabbage, stir slightly to make it evenly distributed. In this way, when the cake is completed, there will be a little golden chrysanthemum inside, which is pretty.

So the next task is to wait for it to solidify.

The waiting time for freezing was long and boring. Yu Jinnian stood beside the stove and was groggy, not knowing how long it had passed. In short, when I opened my eyes again, the chrysanthemum cake had almost condensed, and the outside was black and blue like ink.

He reheated the meat and porridge with soy sauce, and said sadly: “It’s dark, why don’t you come back?”

I was whispering like this, and I heard some slight movement in the courtyard. Yu Jinnian suddenly dropped the ladle and ran out. At this time, his legs were numb, and he staggered two steps when he reached the threshold, and saw a long figure Entering the courtyard, he first turned a corner and went to the west room to pay homage to his second brother. He was happy to say: “The second brother is so effective!”

His white butterfly flew back!

There is a narrow veranda between the two sides of the cabin to the courtyard door, and the flower garden is next to the corridor. Yu Jinnian came out after worshipping his second brother, and the man was leaning on the lintel of the bench in the verandah, leaning against the foot of the eaves column, revealing half of his face. Full of golden chrysanthemums and white chrysanthemums swayed, he was leaning there in a white suit, as silent as a painting.

Feeling the sound of footsteps, Ji Hong opened his eyes.

Yu Jinnian walked to his side, lowered his head to see a small jar of wine in his hand, and said, “Is it cold? I’ll take the wine and warm it.”

“Well.” Ji Hong handed him the wine.

Yu Jinnian cut two petals of **** and simmered in the wine. When the temperature was slightly hotter than the back of the hand, he lifted it from the fire and turned out a white porcelain jug and two small wine pots from the kitchen. A set of wine utensils and vegetarian meat, and two plates of chrysanthemum cake go out.

Ji Hong watched him walk from the kitchen to the compartment with the food tray, and stayed in it for a moment before coming out, asking, “What did you do in there?”

“I gave a cup of chrysanthemum cake to my second brother … I told my second brother to ask him to call you back for dinner, and you will come back.” Yu Jinnian smiled and put down the plate, intending to sit next to Ji Hong, sitting with him. The wine was suddenly pulled up by the man with his sleeves. He didn’t stand firm. He fell on Ji Hong’s lap and half of the warm wine in his hand.

He was about to get up and was held by Ji Hong again, his **** firmly against Ji Hong’s thigh, and he was asked, “Waiting for me?”

Yu Jinnian honestly said: “Well. I went back to the noodle shop to find you.”

“Look for me to do something.” Ji Hong has some alcohol on his body, which is not heavy, because if it smells like nothing, he can’t help but want to smell it clearly, but his voice is so deep that he seems to be soaked in wine Crisp human eardrums. Yu Jinnian couldn’t answer it for a long time, so he struggled to pour wine from him. He didn’t know where Ji Hong gave birth to his inexplicable energy. He slapped him again with a slap and brought a belt in front of him: ” What should I do, eh? ”

“…”

The wine that was just spilled on the ground also radiated out, the aroma was stronger, Ji Hong narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Jinnian, and he did n’t know what was laughing. After a moment, “Well, I do n’t answer anything I asked. Then you ask . ”

Yu Jinnian blinked and asked, “… what wine did you drink? It smells good.”

Ji Hong raised his hand and squeezed the back of his neck, mockingly said: “It’s not very young, but it’s a little drunkard.”

Yu Jinnian went to drink wine by himself, but Ji Hong grabbed his wrist. He picked up Yu Jinnianduan’s wrist with his right hand and drank the remaining liquor in one sip, sipped it in his mouth, left arm A hoop, feeding him mouth to mouth, and licked on the lips of the teenager: “How does it taste.”

“…” Yu Jinnian’s face was hot, and his hands were soft. Where else can he taste it? I saw the man reaching out lazily, so he picked a little chrysanthemum, and he let the hairpin into his hair.

Ji Hong sat in the diner for an afternoon. Although he didn’t think he was drinking much, he actually got a lot of alcohol. He slightly moved his leg, and he felt the round piece of flesh next to his thigh jump suddenly. He became uncomfortable, and he smiled lowly: “One problem with a sip of wine-what do you want to know?”

Yu Jinnian glared. Unexpectedly, there was such a gameplay. He sat on Ji Hong and saw from a distance that the door of the box room for the second brother’s card was blown open by the evening breeze. He has too many questions to ask, such as how Jing Zhong is unfaithful and unrighteous, such as the second brother ’s old things, and even more like Ji Hong ’s fear of blackness. He wants to know everything, and he is very curious, but there are the same, but It is much more important than these. If Ji Hong can answer this question, then he may not know the above.

He said: “… Will you leave?”

The young man has always been very smart, Ji Hong thought he would be more direct and more important, but he did not expect him to ask such an irrelevant question, and then he thought about it. Among the hundreds of questions, he first picked What does this mean?

Ji Hong admits that he was pleased, and admits that this teenager is particularly good at quietly sultry, he asked: “what about wine?”

Yu Jinnian was busy lifting the wine cup to Ji Hong’s lips. He didn’t expect him to say again: “That’s not how he drinks it.” He was amazed for a while, and he thought, wouldn’t it be that I would feed you like that.

Ji Hong was staring at it for a while, Yu Jinnian gritted his teeth, contained the wine in his mouth, and trembled to hold Ji Hong ’s face, but where could he be so enthralling in the way of drinking wine, he only felt the liquor in his mouth He burned his entire esophagus so hot that the wine in his mouth was almost swallowed by himself before he even waited on the man’s lips.

Seeing that his heart was timid, Ji Hong threw a helping hand and said, “Forget it, go on.”

Upon hearing it, Yu Jinnian did not take it for granted. He clearly no longer had any wine in his mouth, and still posted it recklessly, holding Ji Hong’s lips lightly. The combination of his past life and this life, not to say that it is the lips of the girl, that is, the girl ’s hand is only a few times when playing in the kindergarten, the only few kissing experiences are all from Ji Hong, and most of them are passive Bear it, at most it’s half a push.

He used some effort to bite Ji Hong ’s lips, which is not like kissing, but more like revenge-revenge Ji Hong disappeared silently all afternoon, revenge he scared himself, fearing that he would go there again and again not coming back.

Yu Jinnian became more and more angry with each other. This was probably the most angry kiss in his life. He stretched out his hand and pushed Ji Hong. The column was round, and Ji Hong was just leaning on it in vain. After being so coldly pushed, he straightened back backwards by surprise, and the two of them both planted diagonally into the flower pond, crushing a large flower seedling.

Fortunately, sitting on the bench lintel was not high, Ji Hong was back on the ground, ignorant for a while, Yu Jinnian half rided on his back, and had the first active kiss, this time was brave and grabbed Ji Hong ‘S collar went up to take another bite.

This really lifted the stone and smashed his foot, only to hear Ji Hong “sizzle”, and then he recovered, frowned, “Is it a cat?”

“The cat didn’t bother to bite you.” Yu Jinnian looked up carefully and guiltily said, “Oh, it’s really bitten …” He stretched out a finger and felt it because he bit it out, It’s even more proud.

He secretly glanced at Ji Hong, and suddenly a series of encounters happened today. He could n’t help but feel ill, finally willing to come down from him, and reached out to pick up the wine cup in the flowerbed. When the cup edge was dirty, he abandoned it. , Drinking directly into the mouth of the hip flask, lost: “I’m not good. Jing Zhong killed his second brother, but I had to save him, and you should run away from home. But I didn’t mean to be with you. To be right, what he looked like at that time, if he didn’t save, he would wait to die. I really can’t see him die in front of me … When Jing Zhong is a little better, I will transfer him to Shou Ren Tang. You have revenge and resentment. Complaint … ”

Ji Hong looked at his eyes bright for a while and bleak for a while, and could not help but softly said: “How to run away from home, I just have to sit in the distillery.”

This matter was turned upside down, and in fact it had nothing to do with Yu Jinnian. He just did his job as a healer, but he didn’t want to see anyone splashing blood on the spot.

In the final analysis, Jing Zhong is just a small character who escapes. How can he hurt Ji Yan. It ’s just that 16 years have passed since the death of the second brother, and there are few people left. The key figures have also been crushed, and his head has been on the wall of Beiyanguan for three years. At this time, he is not an enemy, even an enemy. One’s ashes have long been lost.

What can be remembered is that except Ji Hong himself, there was only the guard who was greedy for life and feared death, and left his second brother Wu Zhong to escape. Even if the guard guarded the second brother, he only dragged Ji Yan ’s death back. It was only half past one.

After a lapse of many years, everything about the second brother Jiyan is like the cold sand outside the Beiyan Pass. It has drifted along with the snow and the snow, right and wrong have been unclear.

The appearance of Jing Zhong, torn apart Ji Hong’s unbearable past hidden in his heart, suddenly stabbed the wound that he thought healed, but in fact he was still bleeding. Jing Zhong, who is facing the enemy and abandoning the Lord, seems to be a tragic bronze mirror that can be used for reference. Instead of saying that he hates Jing Zhong, it is better to say that he hates his inability and weakness.

Today, there is no trace of Ji Yan up and down. Even the potted chrysanthemum in the courtyard has been completely removed. It seems that the second brother has never existed. Everyone is silent, trembling, afraid of mentioning this outstanding early death. The son-in-law displeased the owner. Ji Hong was already embarrassed by his identity, and he was even more disgusted in this matter.

Eventually, he became the most transparent person in Ji Fu who was not qualified to cherish his second brother. The mother and wife of Ji ’s family did not even allow him to step into the ancestral hall. The only thing in his hand was only a few pieces of Ji Yanlai Kangheyuan playing with him. Short poems written.

It is also an old thing, and a guard in Jingzhong District who planted the golden chrysanthemum in the garden, not only collected the long sword that Ji Yan personally engraved, but also a whole compartment to worship-this made Ji Hong How not to envy, how not to be angry, and how not to treat him as a great enemy.

Obviously he was just a bodyguard.

Ji Hong didn’t want to involve Yu Jinnian with this old thing, so he kept concealing and reluctant to discuss it in detail, but today he drank some wine alone in the wine shop and recovered, only to find that he was not as he thought So indifferent, in the face of the past, still unable to calmly, even angered the teenager for this.

A pot of hot wine simmering **** petals, drinking Yu Jinnian’s face flushed, he pursed his mouth to see Ji Hong, did not know what else to say.

“Get up, the ground is cold.” Ji Hong sighed, got up and pulled him out of the flowerbed, brushed the dust off the teenager’s clothes, and said, “Don’t you cook with me, don’t use it anymore, let me taste it Taste what food you made for your “second brother”? ”
